I'm not sure why asking serious questions to numberwang here was a problem. If concern for your fellow man is trolling then I find that quite concerning, especially considering how many here seem concerned for others at this time, and rightly so. I for one take everyone's claims as genuine, unless they obviously or eventually give me enough reason to believe otherwise. That's just me though. Everyone see's the world differently.

I will no longer be interacting with you going forward as you've requested, but it's only right for me to explain this misunderstanding as I now understand it, as it seems you're extremely offended and this should be cleared up.

I do not think you're racist. What I did question (to numberwang) was whether or not the POC vaxing link, along with the NY vax pass, was in itself.

The reason I replied to numberwang's original post and not your reply to them, was because I didn't care about anything they may have been implying towards yourself. I only cared about the link in which was about POC vaxing and how that would be of concern with the strict vax pass instated there.

You then inserted yourself into this new direction which wasn't directed at you (though you had every right to join the convo), and while I didn't realize it at the time, it now seems you believed I was trolling you. I figured you may have meant general trolling of the POC vaxing link and it's tie to the vax pass issue, or maybe you just didn't like me talking about that issue in here. That would be leaning towards politics and this is a covid thread, so that could make sense.

The fact is, as implied in a prior post (above), I wasn't trolling and was making a serious point towards numberwang, considering this isn't an unreasonable concern based on what's taken place there, at least from my point of view. Hence why I formed it as a question to another. As I've also already stated prior, not everyone see's the world the same and this misunderstanding illustrates that, unfortunately.

Hopefully this clears things up.

Unless you let me know otherwise, again, I'll cease all interactions with you going forward. I won't be asking the same from you though. Feel free to interact with me if you so choose.

Alright, I'll chalk it up to a misunderstanding. Bear in mind that the post showed up as blue in my forum buddy, indicating that I was being quoted. And because Wang's post was obviously in bad faith, maybe I just lumped you together. We're cool for now.

They had replied to you, but I hadn't gone through the entire back conversation to know exactly what was going on between you two. Perhaps I should've removed you entirely to avoid any potential confusion at all based on what took place prior. I wasn't expecting there to be any to begin with which is why I didn't bother. Going forward I'll remove any unnecessary parties based on my directed point in future posts.

Glad that's cleared up. No point in allowing a bridge to burn for a minor mistake or misunderstanding.
